NSW Disability Inclusion Plan

The NSW Disability Inclusion Plan 2026-2029 (NSW DIP) (PDF, 9.5 MB) was launched in December 2025 by Minister for Families and Communities and Minister for Disability Inclusion Kate Washington.

The NSW DIP outlines the work the NSW Government is doing to create more accessible and inclusive communities. The NSW DIP is a four year plan being implemented from January 2026 to December 2029.

The development of a State Disability Inclusion Plan is required under the Disability Inclusion Act 2014 (the Act). It helps us meet our responsibilities under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It also supports Australia’s Disability Strategy's vision ‘for an inclusive Australian society that ensures people with disability can fulfil their potential, as equal members of the community’.

The NSW DIP was developed through close consultation with people with disability, peak disability organisations, including the Disability Council NSW, and NSW government agencies.

The NSW DIP has four focus areas.

Developing positive community attitudes and upholding the rights of people with disability
Creating liveable and safer communities
Supporting access to meaningful employment and independence
Improving access to mainstream services through better systems and processes
